Jumping car & static in N3

I recently started getting static sounds when trying to run Nascar3.It also acts like the steering wheel is "jumping" left and right.The car kinda jerks all by itself.I've removed and reinstalled the sound card and drivers for the wheel but it's still there.The wheel problem happens in a couple of games but the static is in Nascar all the time and once or twice in other games.Does this sound like sound card problems to anybody? I downloaded the files from Viatech that Creative said would fix it but they didn't work either.Here's the system specs: AMD K6/2-500 Epox MVP3C 128mb SDRAM TNT2 M64 32Mb SB Live Value Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro Directx7

The static could be caused by your wheel. Sounds like your wheel is the cause. Do you have another controller you can try? -- Kevin Anderson --------------------------------------------------- DK-Racing #15 K_Anderson ------------------------------------------------- http://www.awtech.net/ http://www.nascar-3.com/

I hooked up my trusty ol' Thrustmaster Gran Prix last night and it does the same thing.Any other ideas?

Does it jump when you recalibrate? Or while you are in TMSCOPE? I would guess you need to clean your pots. Or get a logitech :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Both wheels calibrate perfectly,no jump at all..(I do like the idea of a Logitech though;-) The car will even jump like it's getting bumped from behind while sitting in the pits at an idle.When the car jumps,the tach and engine sound jumps too.I recently updated to the newest drivers for the TNT2 also.Is there any chance they could cause this?

I too get the static very intermittently so I dont worry. I had the spikes you to are getting too. I havean MX300 sound card I got rid of the spikes by changing the gameport to the Vortex in "Game Controllers'/Advanced. Dont know if your S/B has its' own gameport. The other thing I do is to turn off the'poll with interrupt when enabled' setting in 'Game Controllers'/Advanced. Hope this helps. Brad

Sounds like you installed Direct X7 . I f you did then go get the newest version (7a I think). This worked for me.

Have you tried changing to the Papyrus driver in the options/controller screen? Brad
